In this all-new guide, we will help you understand how to send messages with iMessage effects in macOS Big Sur.
At long last, Apple has revamped the Messages app for Mac by introducing the macOS Big Sur. Like we had been expecting, this app has added a number of new features like Memoji stickers, and the vivid bubble-themed results and display from the iOS version.
If you like working with these results on your iPhone and iPad, you are going to love the iMessage results in macOS Big Sur as well.
Using the iMessage effects in macOS Big Sur
On iOS and iPadOS, the effects are divided under two separate headings – “Bubble and Screen.” However, on the Mac, you will find them all presented in a horizontal row. Here are the effects which are available as of now:
- Balloons
- Celebration
- Confetti
- Echo
- Fireworks
- Gentle
- Invisible Ink
- Lasers
- Loud
- Love
- Slam
- Spotlight
When you enter certain common terms like “”Congrats””, “”Congratulations””, “”Happy Birthday””, “”Happy New Year”” or “”Pew Pew””, the Messages app regularly utilizes the appropriate results. Thus whenever you need to send a message related to these terms, you simply need to type in these phrases and then send them. Your app will automatically add the required effect to enhance your conversation. This works not only for the Mac but for the iPad and iPhone as well.
